North Bay Ontario 150 Bondar Challenge Submissions
We’ve called our city the “Gateway of the North” and we’ve grown because we really are “Just North Enough to be PERFECT”.
Because it IS all here! Natural. North. Near.
Let’s showcase the unique natural elements of our city and districts through photography.
What natural beauty would you like to see citizens and visitors to North Bay continue to enjoy 150 years from today?
Here are some of our submitted photos with its own reason for capture:
“I chose to take a picture of clouds because of how important they are to agriculture. If clouds eventually become too acidic we would have almost no food and most of us would die.”
“I chose this picture because I loved being in the middle of nowhere. In 150 years I wish to see this place still full of trees with lakes surrounding them.”
“I believe this photo shows the raw nature that exists in the North. It shows that we aren’t all snow and trees, but gloomy days and running water as well.”
“Over the years I have noticed the pond beside my house is slowly becoming smaller. We should start respecting and honoring our water, because our survival depends on water.”
“This photo reflects how peaceful Lake Nipissing is. I learned to swim in this lake. In North Bay we are so lucky to be surrounded by beautiful bodies of water.”
“This is a sunset photo of Lake Nipissing in North Bay, Ontario which I took when I was 10 years old. It is a 6 second long exposure shot, and is why it gives the water the effect of looking smoky or like ice.”
“Kate Pace Way- Flowers bring the world colour and have been bringing the world colour for longer than any human has been alive, throughout the good times and the bad flowers have always been there to brighten someone’s day.”
